Netflix Confirms Release Date for Groundbreaking Tangerine Dream Documentary
Los Angeles, 7 July 2025 — Netflix has officially confirmed the release date for its highly anticipated documentary “Tangerine Dream: Echoes in the Machine”, a visually rich and sonically immersive exploration of the legendary German electronic music pioneers. The film will premiere worldwide on the 18th, exclusively on Netflix.
The documentary delves into the band’s revolutionary journey from the experimental underground scene of 1960s Berlin to their status as global pioneers of electronic and ambient music. Directed by Asa Mikkelsen, the film features never-before-seen archival footage, personal journals of the late Edgar Froese, and behind-the-scenes material from iconic albums like Phaedra, Rubycon, and Stratosfear.

In a statement, Netflix’s VP of Music and Culture Content, Sophia Mendoza, said:
> “This film is a journey through time, sound, and space. Tangerine Dream didn’t just compose music—they built sonic landscapes that forever changed how we hear the world.”
The documentary also touches on the band’s contributions to film scores, spotlighting cult-classic soundtracks for Thief, Risky Business, and Firestarter. In conjunction with the release, Netflix will launch a companion short series that dives into their studio process and modern-day legacy.
